Lache Seastrunk: a faster version of Giovani Bernard
Jeremy Hill: yes, he's draft-eligible, moves well for a "big" back
Jay Ajayi: every bit as good as Doug Martin, going to blow up next season
James White: better prospect than Montee Ball, can create his own yards

Always fun to look ahead, helps to value current and future players by position.

These guys all have potential to be a blue chip prospect, some are and some could become one. The running back group is very weak but the receivers there are a lot of good elite players as juniors.

RB
Michael Dyer Arkansas State - is he what he used to be as a player?
Lache Seastrunk Baylor - can he back up his own hype?
Dri Archer Kent State - not totally elite but in a weak class he is solid
Ameer Abdullah Nebraska - a lot of talent as an overall back/return man

Next year will be key for Watkins. As great as he was as a freshman, that disappeared last year. He wasn't bad, but he wasn't special. I'm still a huge fan of his overall physical ability and think he has the potential to be an elite prospect, but I'd definitely give the edge for the moment to Lee.

I might take Malcolm Mitchell over Lee and Watkins. Dude has crazy change of direction that allows him to be a top CB prospect.

It's hard to find footage of him, but Fresno State's Davonte Adams has popped off the screen at me. He was only a RS Frosh this year but led the team with 102 catches for 1312 yards and 14 TDs. Obviously it's not all about the stats, but he's also 6'2" 200+ and reportedly runs sub-4.5 and has a 40+ vert, looks to have long arms and big hands, and can make some circus catches. I don't think he's well-known enough yet to truly be a "blue-chipper," but he at least profiles as "prototypical."

3 of his 13 catches in the Hawaii Bowl, including a "did he really just catch that?" TD.

One of my favorites. He looks like a better version of Aaron Dobson. My pro comparison for him is Stevie Johnson.

Adams looks like the real deal. Kinda reminds me of Alshon Jeffery. Maybe not as big (yet), but has similar length and looks like he has some sneaky speed. He doesn't look like a sub 4.5 guy on TV, but I'd guess mid-4.5s, which isn't bad for a guy with that type of size.
